"  Every week,\u00A0Bazaar&amp;#039;s booking team highlights one name to note, from the industry&amp;#039;s best-known faces to girls who are just starting out. This week, we turn our attention to Chiara Scelsi. Nothing beats a classic beauty and newcomer Chiara&amp;#039;s sophisticated and glamorous look harks back to the days of Naomi, Christy and Linda. While she wouldn&amp;#039;t seem out of place in the Nineties, there is still something modern about Sclesi&amp;#039;s allure that has made her a firm favourite of Karl Lagerfeld. The 19-year-old made her international runway debut in a big way, with\u00A0an exclusive booking for Chanel&amp;#039;s spring/summer 16 show. She went on to walk for the brand&amp;#039;s pre-fall show.\u00A0  &amp;quot;When she appeared in our agency\u00A0for the first time,\u00A0I couldn&amp;#039;t stop watching her. There was something special in her beauty \u2013\u00A0a mix of wildness and fragility.\u00A0I immediately realised there was a big potential in this girl, that she could so something amazing in this business,&amp;quot; says Cristina Magnaghi, Scelsi&amp;#039;s agent at\u00A0Women Milan. &amp;quot;I think clients and photographers see the same potential\u00A0I saw in Chiara as soon as they meet her.&amp;quot; With her elegance, cool curls and a compellingly modern take on classic beauty,\u00A0the half-Brazilian,\u00A0half-Italian new face embodies all the tenets of the season and is certain to become one of its most talked about newcomers. We chatted with Scelsi about starting out as a track star, where to visit in Milan and working with Chanel.  How were you discovered? I was discovered two years ago by Ciacia Guzzetti (the\u00A0casting director and manager), but she wanted to push me more into the direction of acting because of my height. In 2015, she decided to introduce me to Women Management,and my current booker Cristina Magnaghi immediately decided to represent me and started to push me for high-level client jobs. If you weren&amp;#039;t modelling, what career would you pursue and why? My dream was to be a professional athlete \u2013\u00A0I really liked track, but I had to stop because of a problem with my knee. I love sport as I think it&amp;#039;s good for both the body and soul, and there&amp;#039;s a good bit of competition. After this health problem, I lost my fitness and had to concentrate on my studies instead. What would you say has been the highlight of your career so far? My biggest moment was walking in the\u00A0Chanel show, as it was my first important step into my career and was actually my first job ever. I also loved working with Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana and the shoot I did with Mario Sorrenti. How do you spend your free time? I like to travel and I love dancing. My boyfriend works in music and we like to follow good DJs around the world. I love animals and, when I have the chance to, I work as a volunteer\u00A0at the dog&amp;#039;s shelter. Do you have any travel tips for those visiting your hometown? Milan is beautiful, but\u00A0it&amp;#039;s important to be shown around by\u00A0somebody who lives\u00A0here, as there are so many\u00A0secret and hidden places to see. Of course, nobody should miss the Castello Sforzesco and the Duomo, but be sure to walk along the Navigli, it&amp;#039;s a great experience. What are the three products you can&amp;#039;t live without? A hair mask by\u00A0Shu Uemura, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Lip Repair Balm\u00A0and the\u00A0super-moisturising Weleda Skin Food. What&amp;#039;s your favourite form of exercise? My main exercise is walking \u2013\u00A0I walk a lot.\u00A0I also work out at\u00A0a cross-fit centre, where my beloved personal trainer Selene takes care of my body. What&amp;#039;s your dream shoot?\u00A0\u00A0 My dream is shooting a big campaign with Steven Meisel in Brazil. I miss Brazil as it&amp;#039;s my mother&amp;#039;s home country and I love Brazilian culture. I&amp;#039;d maybe love to work for a big movie director one day, too.  Name the\u00A0five essential items you wouldn&amp;#039;t leave the house without I should say my iPhone, as I should be reachable 24 hours a day, but also my music player, an interesting book, a lip balm and also my house keys of course! If you had to wear only one designer, who would it be? It&amp;#039;s not easy to say but Chlo\u00E9 is my favourite for sure, I love that style. What advice would you give to girls new to the industry? I&amp;#039;m new myself and so I feel I can&amp;#039;t give much advice yet as I&amp;#039;m still learning. Following my instinct, I would say to put all your energy and heart into what you want. Is there a model&amp;#039;s career that you admire and why? I admire one of the best models I have ever met, Alewya Demmisse. She is a really good friend of mine and a great mentor because she&amp;#039;s strong and determined, and has taught me a lot of things. Let&amp;#039;s talk about your\u00A0favourite\u2026 \u2026music?\u00A0I love Sixties, Seventies and Eightiess music and I always travel to European clubs to on the trail of\u00A0the best DJs. \u2026films?\u00A0I love Sofia Coppola and Tarantino movies. \u2026books?\u00A0The Alchemist\u00A0by Paulo Coelho. Food?\u00A0I love Italian and Brazilian food, but of course I need to eat healthily and so I eat a lot of avocado (my secret ingredient\u00A0for my very healthy curls), rice and vegetables.  ***\u00A0 MORE MODELS Watch This Face: Lorna Foran Watch This Face: Ari Westphal Watch This Face: Nirvana Naves "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
